Introduction 0

The PX502 tape library is an automated storage and retrieval device consisting of

up to two tape drives and up to 32 SDLT cartridges or 38 LTO tape cartridges (see

figure 1).

Notational Conventions 0

This instruction uses the following conventions:

This document explains how to unpack the PX502 tape library and install it in a

standard 19 in. rack. Once the library is unpacked and installed, set up the library

using the instructions in the

PX500 Series

User’s Guide PN 81-81290. This

installation procedure will take approximately 4 hours to complete.

NOTE:Notes emphasize important information related to the main topic.

CAUTION:Cautions indicate potential hazards to equipment and are included

to prevent damage to equipment.

WARNING:Warnings indicate potential hazards to personal safety and are

included to prevent injury.

NOTE:It is recommended to review the entire document prior to beginning the

installation.

PX502 Tape Library Quick Start Guide

Choosing a Location 0

When choosing an installation site for the PX502, consider

the following requirements:

•Rack Space Requirements

•Environmental Conditions

Rack Space Requirements 0

Ta b l e 1 contains the rack requirements for the PX502 tape

library.

Table 1 Rack Requirements

Environmental Conditions 0

The installation site must have the following environmental

conditions:

• Humidity: 20%-80% non-condensing

• Temperature: 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F)

• Altitude: -500 to 10,000 feet (-152 to 3048 meters)

These environmental conditions apply when the PX502 tape

library is in operation.

Preparing for the Installation 0

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section,

make the following preparations as described in this

section:

•Providing Necessary Tools

•Taking ESD Precautions

Dimensions PX502

Depth 31 in (78.7 cm)

Width 19 in (48.3 cm)

Height 6.75 in (17 cm), 4U

Weight 52 lbs (23.6 kg)

Air Clearance Open 4 in (10 cm) behind unit

for proper air flow

NOTE:For additional specifications, refer to the

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide

(PN 81-

81290)

Providing Necessary Tools 0

Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the

PX502 tape library:

• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver

• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver

• #1 flat blade screwdriver

• Allen wrench (2.5mm and 3mm) included in accessory

kit

• Antistatic wrist strap included in accessory kit

Ta k i n g E S D P r e c a u t i on s 0

Some components within the PX502 tape library contain

static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while

performing installation procedures, always observe the

following precautions:

• Keep the PX502 turned off during all installation

procedures.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory

kit).

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping

containers until ready for installation. Look for the ESD

sticker to identify static sensitive parts.

• Avoid touching connectors and other components.

Unpacking the PX502 Tape Library 0

This section explains how to unpack the PX502 tape library

and move it to its final installation location.

NOTE:Dry climates and cold-weather heating

environments have lower relative humidity and

are more likely to produce static electricity.

NOTE:Inspect the outer library packaging for damage. If

there is any damage evident on the library

packaging, do not continue with the installation

and contact Quantum customer support.

PX502 Tape Library Quick Start Guide

By following these instructions, you help ensure that the

system will continue to be safeguarded after it arrives at the

installation site.

Unpack and remove the following components from the

packing materials (see figure 2):

1Remove the accessories kit and set it aside.

2With the help of a second person, lift the library chassis

up and out of the shipping carton.

3Place the library on a table approximately waist high.

Figure 2 Unpacking the PX502

NOTE:Unpack the library as close to the installation

location as possible.

WARNING:At least two people are required to move the

library chassis.

CAUTION:Lift the library chassis at the sides. Avoid

putting the weight of the library chassis on

the front bezel.

4Remove the antistatic sheet:

aCut the tape strips securing the sheet.

bFold the sheet down.

cWith the help of a second person, lift the library up

off of the antistatic sheet.

dPlace the library on the table or desk next to the

antistatic sheet.

eIf this is a multiple library stack, refer to “Multiple

Library Stacks” on page 15 before proceeding.

The PX502 is ready to install.

Installing the Library 0

Installing a PX502 tape library in a rack consists of the

following steps:

•Locating the Mounting Position

•Installing the Library

•Initial Configuration

Locating the Mounting

Position 0

The PX502 tape library is designed to fit in a standard 19

inch wide rack.

It is important to the library installation to locate the hole

pattern in the rack rails (see figure 3). The library must be

installed at the beginning of the hole pattern. Refer to

table 2 for information on common rack hole types.

PX502 Tape Library Quick Start Guide

Table 2 Rack Hole Types

Figure Description

Square rack holes are the most

common type of rack holes. They

can accept either cage nuts which

mount from the back of the rail or

clip nuts which clip on from the

side of the rack rail.

Through holes require clip nuts to

accept mounting hardware.

Threaded holes require neither

cage or clip nuts to accept

mounting hardware.

NOTE:The rails within the rack have a hole pattern that

repeats throughout the rail. Xmarks the screw

positions. Install nut clips (included in the

accessory kit) on the rails if necessary.

Figure 3 Rail Hole Pattern

Installing the Library 0

Installing the PX502 tape library consists of the following

steps:

•Installing the Rack Mount Shelves

•Installing the Library Chassis

•Cabling the Library

WARNING:If the rack is empty at the time of installation,

do NOT install the PX502 tape library too

high in the rack. The weight of the library

may cause the rack to become “top heavy”

and unstable if installed in the top of an

empty rack. Begin installing the PX502 tape

library from the bottom of the rack if more

than one library is installed.

NOTE:If this is an upgrade to an existing library system,

see “Multiple Library Stacks” on page 15.

Installing the Rack Mount Shelves

Before installing the rack mount shelves, you must collect

the following information:

• Type of rack mount rails (square hole, through hole, or

threaded hole)

• Depth of rack (34 in, 86.3 cm minimum depth

recommended; however, rack depths of 24 in, 60.9 cm

to 36 in, 91.4 cm are supported)

1Assemble the rack mount shelves (left and right):

aDetermine the mounting hole locations. The holes

used to attach the two halves of the rack mount

shelves differ depending on the depth of the rack

(see figure 4).
